Paul Simon Announces ‘Homeward Bound – The Farewell Tour’ Dates

In this article:

Another day, another farewell tour. The latest cultural icon to announce his retirement from the road is Paul Simon, who just revealed a stretch of dates he’s calling Homeward Bound – The Farewell Tour . The North American leg of shows will kick off on May 16 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, followed by stops in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl, the United Center in Chicago, and Boston’s TD Garden. The tour wraps up on June 20 in Nashville, after which Simon will head overseas for the remaining performances.

“I’ve often wondered what it would feel like to reach the point where I’d consider bringing my performing career to a natural end. Now I know: it feels a little unsettling, a touch exhilarating and something of a relief,” said Simon in a statement. “I love making music, my voice is still strong, and my band is a tight, extraordinary group of gifted musicians. I think about music constantly. I am very grateful for a fulfilling career and, of course, most of all to the audiences who heard something in my music that touched their hearts.”
